hey spec, heres some quick things to consider in gesture...
Always emphasize the tapering line, forceful lines lead into eachother when they are curved and parallel. also for quicker gestures, ditch thinking of the contour, focus on where the weight is placed on the ground, or how the spine is curving, how the balance of the pose is in space. That's much more helpful in thinking of what the pose is capable of in the long run than trying to quickly show oh the arms here, heres the head you know...
What are their relationships to one another? how do they flow into one another

Focus on how those forms land, gesture isnt about pretty drawings its about feeling the possibilities of what the drawing could be, finding the skeleton before you add the rest of the good stuff
